Performancing and PayPerPost Hop Out of Bed

January 5, 2007 by Ben Yoskovitz

This just in from Jim Turner at One By One Media: PayPerPost and Performancing Go Separate Ways.

Getting into bed with business partners is tough.

Nick Wilson announced the move on his blog:

After much discussion, we’ve decided that the deal proposed by PayPerPost just isn’t right for us or our community. It’s regrettable that we should part ways as I still feel that Dan and Ted are stand up guys breaking new ground, but in the end, the deal was just not right for them or us.

I wrote about the deal between PayPerPost and Performancing when it came out because I’m interested in both companies and in particular wanted to see what PayPerPost would do with the acquisitions, and what the response would be from the blogosphere.

Is it possible that blogger reaction was negative or cool enough to scuttle the deal?

I’m not likely to find out any time soon, but nevertheless this is an interesting development…
